Four stages down the A26 and A1, with the live prices we hold around each one. The points are landmarks at roughly 50, 100, 150 and 200 km of driving from Calais; we search within 25 km of each and show how many stations actually reported.

We leave the rest out: SP95 (as few as 1 on one stage) is too thinly reported along this corridor to rank honestly; no station on the corridor reports LPG.

The four large dots are the stage centres, not junctions; the small ones are the stations listed below. Distances in the tables are straight-line from the stage centre, so a station can sit a few minutes further by road.

The pattern most drivers expect — coast expensive, inland cheap — is not a law. It holds on some days and not on others, which is why every figure here is the price reported this week rather than a rule of thumb. Compare the stage medians above against €2.359 a litre, the French national median for diesel today.
Barely today. The best stretch, around Saint-Omer & Aire-sur-la-Lys, is within 0.0p a litre of the Calais coast.
They are landmarks on the A26 and A1 at roughly 50, 100, 150 and 200 km of driving from Calais: Saint-Omer, Arras, Péronne and Compiègne. We then list the cheapest stations with a live price within 25 km of each. It is an approximation based on coordinates, not a reading of the motorway route itself, so a station can sit a few minutes off the exit.
The ones every stage actually reports. A fuel only appears in the picker when all four stages have at least 8 stations quoting it, so the ranking you get is a real one rather than a top three dressed up as a market. Today that means Diesel, SP95-E10, SP98 and Superéthanol E85. We leave the rest out: SP95 (as few as 1 on one stage) is too thinly reported along this corridor to rank honestly; no station on the corridor reports LPG.
They are, when they report a price — and they are usually the dearest entries in each list. The dataset does not publish brands, so this page cannot label a station as a service area or a supermarket; it can only rank by the price reported.
